Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business | 1. Nature of Business REGENXBIO Inc. (the Company) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to improve lives through the curative potential of gene therapy. The Company’s proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene delivery platform (NAV Technology Platform) consists of exclusive rights to over 100 novel AAV vectors, including AAV7, AAV8, AAV9 and AAVrh10. The NAV® Technology Platform is being applied by the Company, as well as by third-party licensees (NAV Technology Licensees), in the development of a broad pipeline of product candidates in multiple therapeutic areas. Additionally, the NAV Technology Platform is currently being applied in one commercially available product, Zolgensma®, which is marketed by a NAV Technology Licensee. The Company was formed in 2008 in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. Liquidity and Risks As of March 31, 2020, the Company had generated an accumulated deficit of $217.9 million since inception. As the Company has incurred cumulative losses since inception, transition to recurring profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure, which depends heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of its product candidates. The Company may never achieve recurring profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional capital, to the extent possible. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $356.6 million, which management believes is sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of technological innovations, risks of failure of clinical trials, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and ability to transition from clinical manufacturing to the commercial production of products. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP which are normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including: expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. This process may result in actual results differing materially from those estimated amounts used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates are used in the following areas, among others: license and royalty revenue, stock-based compensation expense, accrued research and development expenses and other accrued liabilities, income taxes and the fair value of financial instruments. The Company is actively monitoring the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on its business, results of operations and financial condition. The full extent to which COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future is unknown at this time and will depend on future developments that are highly unpredictable. The most significant estimates affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements that may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic are related to the Company’s assessment of credit losses on accounts receivable, contract assets and available-for-sale debt securities. Reclassifications Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications are not material and have no effect on previously reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes money market mutual funds used to collateralize irrevocable letters of credit as required by the Company’s lease agreements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the total of these amounts as reported at the end of the period in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 69,411 $ 55,852 Restricted cash 1,330 1,053 Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 70,741 $ 56,905 Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable primarily consist of consideration due to the Company resulting from its license agreements with NAV Technology Licensees. Accounts receivable include amounts invoiced to licensees as well as rights to consideration which have not yet been invoiced, including unbilled royalties, and for which payment is conditional solely upon the passage of time. If a licensee elects to terminate a license prior to the end of the license term, the licensed intellectual property is returned to the Company and any accounts receivable from the licensee which are not contractually payable to the Company are charged off as a reduction of license revenue in the period of the termination. Accounts receivable which are not expected to be received by the Company within 12 months from the reporting date are stated net of a discount to present value and recorded as non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The present value discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the accounts receivable are initially recorded and is accreted as interest income from licensing over the term of the receivables. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if deemed necessary based on the Company’s evaluation of collectability and potential credit losses. Management assesses the collectability of its accounts receivable using the specific identification of account balances, and considers the credit quality and financial condition of its significant customers, historical information regarding credit losses and the Company’s evaluation of current and expected future economic conditions. If necessary, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against accounts receivable such that the carrying value of accounts receivable reflects the net amount expected to be collected. The Company did no t record an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of available-for-sale debt securities and equity securities and are carried at fair value. Marketable debt securities with remaining maturity dates exceeding 12 months which are not intended to be sold prior to maturity for use in current operations are classified as non-current assets. Marketable equity securities are classified as current assets. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net of any related tax effects, are excluded from results of operations and are included in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. The Company uses the aggregate portfolio approach to release the tax effects of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Purchase premiums and discounts on marketable debt securities are amortized or accreted into the cost basis over the life of the related security as adjustments to the yield using the effective-interest method. Interest income is recognized when earned. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities are included in results of operations as investment income (loss). Realized gains and losses from the sale or maturity of marketable securities are based on the specific identification method and are included in results of operations as investment income (loss). At each reporting date, the Company evaluates available-for-sale debt securities which have an amortized cost basis in excess of the fair value of the security to determine if the unrealized loss or any potential credit losses should be recognized in results of operations . If the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the security until recovery of the unrealized loss, the difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security is charged to results of operations resulting in a new amortized cost basis of the security. If the Company has the intent and ability to hold the security until recovery of the unrealized loss, the security is evaluated for potential credit losses. If a credit loss is deemed to exist, the credit loss is recognized in results of operations and an allowance for credit losses is recorded against the amortized cost basis of the security. In determining whether a credit loss exists related to impaired available-for-sale debt securities, the Company considers, among other factors, the extent of the unrealized loss relative to the amortized cost basis, the credit rating of the issuer and any recent changes thereto, current and expected future economic conditions, and any adverse events or other changes in circumstances that have occurred which may indicate a potential credit loss. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses on its available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2020. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures • Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3—Valuations that require inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 instruments are based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer quotations for similar assets. These investments are initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued utilizing third party pricing providers or other market observable data. Please refer to Note 4 for further information on the fair value measurement of the Company’s financial instruments. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Contingently convertible shares in which conversion is based on non-market-priced contingencies are excluded from the calculations of both basic and diluted net income loss per share until the contingency has been fully met. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The amortized cost of marketable debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or to the earliest call date for callable debt securities purchased at a premium. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted solely of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net of income tax effects and reclassification adjustments for realized gains and losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized net unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities of $0.8 million and income tax expense of zero in other comprehensive loss for the period. The Company recognized net realized gains of less than $0.1 million on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the period and were included in investment income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized net unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities of $1.0 million and income tax expense of $0.4 million in other comprehensive income for the period. The Company recognized net realized gains of less than $0.1 million on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019, which were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the period and were included in investment income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company has the intent and ability to hold such securities until recovery, and due to the credit quality of the issuers and low severity of each unrealized loss position relative to its amortized cost basis, the Company has not identified any credit losses associated with its available-for-sale debt securities. The Company did not recognize any impairment or credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Marketable equity securities held by the Company as of March 31, 2020 consisted solely of common stock of Prevail Therapeutics Inc. (Prevail). The Company acquired the securities as consideration for a commercial license to the NAV Technology Platform granted to Prevail in August 2017. Prevail completed its initial public offering (IPO) in June 2019. Prior to Prevail’s IPO, the securities were accounted for as non-marketable equity securities without a readily determinable fair value and had a carrying value of $0.4 million. Upon Prevail’s IPO in June 2019, the securities were reclassified to marketable securities and are measured at fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments reported at fair value on a recurring basis include cash equivalents and marketable securities. The following tables present the fair value of cash equivalents and marketable securities in accordance with the hierarchy discussed in Note 2 (in thousands): Quoted Significant prices other Significant in active observable unobservable markets inputs inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total March 31, 2020 Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ — $ 54,530 $ — $ 54,530 Total cash equivalents — 54,530 — 54,530 Marketable securities: U.S. government and federal agency securities — 50,169 — 50,169 Certificates of deposit — 8,342 — 8,342 Corporate bonds — 208,826 — 208,826 Equity securities 19,870 — — 19,870 Total marketable securities 19,870 267,337 — 287,207 Total cash equivalents and marketable securities $ 19,870 $ 321,867 $ — $ 341,737 Quoted Significant prices other Significant in active observable unobservable markets inputs inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total December 31, 2019 Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ — $ 56,058 $ — $ 56,058 Total cash equivalents — 56,058 — 56,058 Marketable securities: U.S. government and federal agency securities — 62,847 — 62,847 Certificates of deposit — 8,583 — 8,583 Corporate bonds — 226,916 — 226,916 Equity securities 32,135 — — 32,135 Total marketable securities 32,135 298,346 — 330,481 Total cash equivalents and marketable securities $ 32,135 $ 354,404 $ — $ 386,539 Management estimates that the carrying amounts of its current accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Accounts receivable which contain non-current portions are recorded at their present values using a discount rate that is based on prevailing market rates and the credit profile of the licensee on the date the amounts are initially recorded. Management does not believe there have been any significant changes in market conditions or credit quality that would cause the discount rates initially used to be significantly different from those that would be used as of March 31, 2020 to determine the present value of the receivables. Accordingly, management estimates that the carrying value of its non-current accounts receivable approximates the fair value of those instruments. Non-marketable equity securities are measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not hold any non-marketable equity securities. No remeasurements or impairment losses were recorded on non-marketable equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. |

License Agreement Revenue Recognition [Abstract] | |
License and Royalty Revenue | 6. License and Royalty Revenue As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s NAV Technology Platform was being applied by NAV Technology Licensees in one commercial product, Zolgensma, and in the development of more than 20 product candidates. Consideration to the Company under its license agreements may include: (i) up-front and annual fees, (ii) option fees to acquire additional licenses, (iii) milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones by licensees, (iv) sublicense fees and (v) royalties on sales of licensed products. Sublicense fees vary by license and range from a mid-single digit percentage to a low-double digit percentage of license fees received by licensees as a result of sublicenses. Royalties on net sales of commercialized products vary by license and range from a mid-single digit percentage to a low double-digit percentage of net sales by licensees. Development milestone payments are evaluated each reporting period and are only included in the transaction price of each license and recognized as license revenue to the extent the milestones are considered probable of achievement. Sales-based milestones are excluded from the transaction price of each license agreement and recognized as royalty revenue in the period of achievement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s license agreements, excluding additional licenses that could be granted upon the exercise of options by licensees, contained unachieved milestones which could result in aggregate milestone payments to the Company of up to $371.4 million, including $0.3 million upon the submission of preclinical regulatory filings, $24.1 million upon the commencement of various stages of clinical trials, $31.0 million upon the submission of regulatory approval filings, $109.0 million upon the approval of commercial products by regulatory agencies and $207.0 million upon the achievement of specified sales targets for licensed products. To the extent the milestone payments are realized by the Company, the Company will be obligated to pay sublicense fees to licensors based on a specified percentage of the fees earned by the Company. The achievement of milestones by licensees is highly dependent on the successful development and commercialization of licensed products and it is at least reasonably possible that some or all of the milestone fees will not be realized by the Company. The following tables present changes in the balances of the Company’s receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities during the periods presented (in thousands): Balance at Beginning Balance at of Period Additions Deductions End of Period Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Receivables and contract assets: Accounts receivable, current and non-current $ 42,303 $ 18,142 $ (11,550 ) $ 48,895 Contract assets $ — $ 350 $ — $ 350 Contract liabilities: Deferred revenue, current and non-current $ 3,333 $ — $ — $ 3,333 Balance at Beginning Balance at of Period Additions Deductions End of Period Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Receivables and contract assets: Accounts receivable, current and non-current $ 31,599 $ 1,738 $ (2,207 ) $ 31,130 Contract assets $ 750 $ 1,000 $ (750 ) $ 1,000 Contract liabilities: Deferred revenue, current and non-current $ 3,933 $ — $ — $ 3,933 Additions to accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily consisted of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma of $10.0 million, receivables recorded related to new licenses granted during the period and interest income recognized during the period related to significant financing components. Additions to accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily consisted of amounts billed upon the achievement of development milestones by licensees and interest income recognized during the period related to significant financing components. Deductions to accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 primarily consisted of amounts collected from licensees during the period. The changes in the balances of contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 consist of development milestones deemed probable of achievement by licensees during the period, offset by the subsequent achievement of such milestones and billing of associated milestone payments by the Company. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had recorded deferred revenue of $3.3 million which represents consideration received from licensees for performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied by the Company. Unsatisfied performance obligations consist of options granted to licensees that provide material rights to the licensee to acquire additional licenses from the Company. These performance obligations will be satisfied, and underlying revenue will be recognized, upon the exercise or expiration of the options. The Company did not recognize any license revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $10.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods as a result of changes in the transaction prices of its license agreements as well as royalties on sales of licensed products and sublicense fees. Changes in the transaction prices during the periods were primarily attributable to development milestones achieved or deemed probable of achievement during the period that were previously not considered probable of achievement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had recorded total current and non-current accounts receivable of $48.9 million, of which $7.1 million had been billed to customers and $41.8 million was billable to customers in future periods. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded total current and non-current accounts receivable of $42.3 million, of which $0.4 million had been billed to customers and $41.9 million was billable to customers in future periods. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality and financial condition of its significant customers, history of collections and evaluation of current and future expected economic conditions, no credit losses were recognized on accounts receivable or contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020. AveXis March 2014 License In March 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement, as amended in January 2018 (the March 2014 License) with AveXis, Inc. (AveXis). Under the March 2014 License, the Company granted AveXis an exclusive, worldwide commercial license, with rights to sublicense, to the NAV Technology Platform, as well as other certain rights, for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in humans by in vivo gene therapy. AveXis launched commercial sales of Zolgensma in the second quarter of 2019, which is a licensed product under the March 2014 License. Upon the commencement of commercial sales in the second quarter of 2019, the Company began recognizing royalty revenue on net sales of Zolgensma. The Company recognized the following amounts under the March 2014 License with AveXis (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 License revenue $ — $ — Zolgensma royalty revenue 9,978 — Total license and royalty revenue $ 9,978 $ — Interest income from licensing $ 7 $ 8 As of March 31, 2020, the Company had recorded $10.0 million of accounts receivable from AveXis under the March 2014 License, of which $9.8 million were included in current assets and $0.2 million were included in non-current assets. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded $11.0 million of accounts receivable from AveXis under the March 2014 License, of which $10.8 million were included in current assets and $0.2 million were included in non-current assets. Abeona Therapeutics Inc. Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 included $26.9 million and $26.3 million, respectively, related to the November 2018 license agreement, as amended in November 2019 (the November 2018 License) with Abeona Therapeutics Inc. (Abeona) for the development and commercialization of treatments for various diseases, all of which were included in current assets. Pursuant to the November 2018 License, Abeona was required to pay the Company a license fee of $8.0 million on April 1, 2020. In May 2020, after providing written notice to Abeona as required under the license agreement, the November 2018 License was effectively terminated by the Company as a result of breach by Abeona for the failure to pay the $8.0 million license fee due on April 1, 2020. Pursuant to the November 2018 License, Abeona is required to pay the aforementioned $8.0 million license fee to the Company immediately upon the termination of the license agreement. Additionally, Abeona is required to pay a $20.0 million license fee to the Company within 15 days of the termination date, which otherwise would have been due to the Company in November 2020. |

Income Taxes | 8. Income Taxes The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Based on the Company’s history of operating losses, including a three-year cumulative loss position as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the benefit of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act (i) lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the TCJA), (ii) allows corporate taxpayers to carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating during 2018 through 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the TCJA, (iii) eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations on NOL utilization imposed by the TCJA, allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020, and (iv) enacts various other changes to corporate taxation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to the Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020, or to the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2020. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP which are normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including: expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. This process may result in actual results differing materially from those estimated amounts used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates are used in the following areas, among others: license and royalty revenue, stock-based compensation expense, accrued research and development expenses and other accrued liabilities, income taxes and the fair value of financial instruments. The Company is actively monitoring the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on its business, results of operations and financial condition. The full extent to which COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future is unknown at this time and will depend on future developments that are highly unpredictable. The most significant estimates affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements that may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic are related to the Company’s assessment of credit losses on accounts receivable, contract assets and available-for-sale debt securities. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications are not material and have no effect on previously reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes money market mutual funds used to collateralize irrevocable letters of credit as required by the Company’s lease agreements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the total of these amounts as reported at the end of the period in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 69,411 $ 55,852 Restricted cash 1,330 1,053 Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 70,741 $ 56,905 |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable primarily consist of consideration due to the Company resulting from its license agreements with NAV Technology Licensees. Accounts receivable include amounts invoiced to licensees as well as rights to consideration which have not yet been invoiced, including unbilled royalties, and for which payment is conditional solely upon the passage of time. If a licensee elects to terminate a license prior to the end of the license term, the licensed intellectual property is returned to the Company and any accounts receivable from the licensee which are not contractually payable to the Company are charged off as a reduction of license revenue in the period of the termination. Accounts receivable which are not expected to be received by the Company within 12 months from the reporting date are stated net of a discount to present value and recorded as non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The present value discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the accounts receivable are initially recorded and is accreted as interest income from licensing over the term of the receivables. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if deemed necessary based on the Company’s evaluation of collectability and potential credit losses. Management assesses the collectability of its accounts receivable using the specific identification of account balances, and considers the credit quality and financial condition of its significant customers, historical information regarding credit losses and the Company’s evaluation of current and expected future economic conditions. If necessary, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against accounts receivable such that the carrying value of accounts receivable reflects the net amount expected to be collected. The Company did no t record an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of available-for-sale debt securities and equity securities and are carried at fair value. Marketable debt securities with remaining maturity dates exceeding 12 months which are not intended to be sold prior to maturity for use in current operations are classified as non-current assets. Marketable equity securities are classified as current assets. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net of any related tax effects, are excluded from results of operations and are included in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. The Company uses the aggregate portfolio approach to release the tax effects of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Purchase premiums and discounts on marketable debt securities are amortized or accreted into the cost basis over the life of the related security as adjustments to the yield using the effective-interest method. Interest income is recognized when earned. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities are included in results of operations as investment income (loss). Realized gains and losses from the sale or maturity of marketable securities are based on the specific identification method and are included in results of operations as investment income (loss). At each reporting date, the Company evaluates available-for-sale debt securities which have an amortized cost basis in excess of the fair value of the security to determine if the unrealized loss or any potential credit losses should be recognized in results of operations . If the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the security until recovery of the unrealized loss, the difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security is charged to results of operations resulting in a new amortized cost basis of the security. If the Company has the intent and ability to hold the security until recovery of the unrealized loss, the security is evaluated for potential credit losses. If a credit loss is deemed to exist, the credit loss is recognized in results of operations and an allowance for credit losses is recorded against the amortized cost basis of the security. In determining whether a credit loss exists related to impaired available-for-sale debt securities, the Company considers, among other factors, the extent of the unrealized loss relative to the amortized cost basis, the credit rating of the issuer and any recent changes thereto, current and expected future economic conditions, and any adverse events or other changes in circumstances that have occurred which may indicate a potential credit loss. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses on its available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2020. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures • Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3—Valuations that require inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 instruments are based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer quotations for similar assets. These investments are initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued utilizing third party pricing providers or other market observable data. Please refer to Note 4 for further information on the fair value measurement of the Company’s financial instruments. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Contingently convertible shares in which conversion is based on non-market-priced contingencies are excluded from the calculations of both basic and diluted net income loss per share until the contingency has been fully met. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. |
